Indeed it isn't a cut and dried subject.

Well I guess the a-hole can take your facts and shove it right up his arse.

If he shoved everything up there he should he has to be running out of room

How can the President unilaterally terminate a free trade agreement passed by Congress and then force Congress to pass another one?

I’m not saying he can’t. I’m asking how he can. It seems that this should have gone through Congress to begin with, since they have to pass it.

Too much Executive overreach. Reminds me of Obama. Yuck.

Terminating NAFTA is a huge deal for the future of this country. It was always a terrible deal for US.

Although the 1974 Trade Act grants US presidents the authority to unilaterally withdraw from trade agreements, the fact that NAFTA was implemented through legislation suggests Congress must also sign off on any changes to the agreement, including a withdrawl, according to experts.

It remains unclear, however, whether Congress would definitively have the final say on any attempt from Trump to pull out of the deal, and legal experts have speculated that if Trump does try to withdraw, the case may end up in the courts
Too bad you didn't look at the provisions of the NAFTA Act itself. More specifically, Article 2205 of NAFTA.

Eta: What is humorous is that ever the article you posted didn't say that Trump could terminate NAFTA himself and that it would wind up in the courts.

Do you even read what you post before you post it?
